Code: Select all

Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE

The other thing that pops out at me is you're attempting to run an AppImage in Xenial64...
which may be too old.

A lot of the issues you may have with Appimages is what is actual in it.
If correctly built, it should provide all that is needed to run it.
But I have found some do not get built very well and have missing stuff.
Usually those are the ones, that assume the Linux OS has already in it, some needed dependency software.
A well built Appimage should have everything needed in it.

checking out the Wiz57 links
The idea of these self-contained app packages needing dependencies puzzles me, but I got the AppImage to run in Xenial 64 in another Ubuntu derivative with libnss3 acquired from Debian.
Package containers seem to come with dependency assumptions not very different from usual .pet & .deb.
I want to keep Xenial alive for at least another year and I need current Chromium dependencies.
